DEER PARK HOTEL

the character of the guests who have stamp
ed their insignia upon it. The society is
notably cultivated; drawn mainly from the
best circles of the eastern and western cities
and the national capital, it is representative
of the strongest and most polished strata OF
American life. This is true of both the ho-
tel residents and of the 'tcottagers" the |
occupants of those charming bits of Queen |
Anne architecture that dot the grounds,
some of them owned by private persons and
others rented out for the season by Mr.. De
Shields.
Another reason for the celebrity of Deer
Park is its accessibility. Located directly |
upon the main stem of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad it is readily reached by Will
mingtonians.
Leaving this city by the Limited Express
at 7.40 o'clock in the morning Deer Park is
reached in time for a 8 o'clock dinner.
The trains of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company are made up of as fine
and perfectly appointed coaches as there are
on the Continent; the sleeping and paror
cars, the buffet and dining cars, and even
The ordinary day coaches, Danish all the
discomforts of travel, and the trains are re-
nowned for the fast time mcde.
Another merit attaching to Dler Park is
the moderate hotel rates in comparison with
the benefits afforded, the accommodations
enjoyed, and the attention paid to the com
fort of each individual guest. Such table,
such pleasant rooms, such music, and such
a round of amusements no not, in the opiu-
ion of the management, Justify the e&orbi-
tant charges made elsewhere at resorts of
! ne SigheEt class Cor which reason the ele-
men3 of economy has something to do with
the selection of The Glades wherein to pro-
fitably pass vacation. Prices range $50,
SO ands0O per month; SO to $21 per week,
or $3.50 per day for transient guests. A
matter of son moment is that there is no
stage or omnibus riding to be done, as the
trains stop at the platforms Of the hotels.
To previous reference to the atmosphere
Of The Glades as being antidote to iLsom-
MIA, there may be the addition made that It
is an infallible remedy for that most dis
tressful and exasperating of all ailments, hay
fever. The altitude is an enemy of the lat
ter disease, and sufferers for many years
have declared that here they have found
relief which had been denied them at any
other place where they had sought cure
Malaria and its kindred evils--in fact, any
sort of zymotic disease-can not exist on
these mountain heights, and the chronic
victims of them discover, after sojourn of
only few days, that the maletic germs are
being exterminated from their systems.
President Grant was one of the many who
acknowledged the grateful and health-re-
storing effect of stay on The Glades; and a
hay.iever invalid who had been tortured
, with the disease for over thirty years sent
to the management a voluntary assurance
that he had there secu. ed more benefit than
at any other spot he had ever visited, and
that he enjoyed perfect immunity from at.
tacks during his entire stay. This high and
| moderately dry atmosphere is equally eff
, cacious in the cases of enervated women
There is on record the case of a lady wht
/ arrived on The Glades by an evening train
d and who for sixty nights previously hat
/ known no sleep that was not induced b,
! ma cotic drugs. Within few hours afte
q her arrival, and while the nightly medicine
e were being prepared, she fell into pro
8 found slumber that, at the end of eigh
r hours, was only terminated when she wa
' awakened by her husband, who erroneousl
L feared that such a sleep could not be ma
